'Where am I? Why am I hurt? Who am I'
Turning around, all I saw was darkness, a parallel wall of darkness leading toward the light.
'Am I in an alley?'
With nothing else to do, the figure walked toward the light, but tripped on his own foot and fell harshly onto the floor.
'Why can't I move?'
Looking at his leg, the boy saw that there was a whole on his right foot, like someone stabbed him there. Further examining his body, the boy found out that his shirt, which resemble a rag more than cloth, was torn to shreds, barely covering his tiny frame, the same can be said to his shorts. There was numerous scars and wounds covering his form.
The boy look like he was viciously beaten by a gang of highly trained criminals.
All he did was look at himself horrified, and let out a startled gasp, which was hollowed.
'Wh..What happen to me?'
"There he is!" cried a voice, causing the boy to snapped his head toward the source and saw a group of men, about nine in total, running toward him with various weaponry.
The boy didn't know what to do, but his body reacted to the incoming violence by trying to run away, which failed since his leg was hurt beyond repair, so he settled on cropping away. It didn't work.
"Get him!" cried one of the man and suddenly the boy felt something pierce one of his arm. Crying in both fear and anger, the boy curled up in a ball, trying to lessen the pain.
"We got him!" cried yet another voice as the boy felt something kick him in the stomach.
Crying out in pain, the boy held his stomach, trying to numb the pain. It was all in vain since he was suddenly assaulted in all directions. Pain exploded in various part of his body. Immense pain was all he could feel, the sensation of bones breaking and limbs twisting was mind blowing, and not in a good way.
"Yes, kill the demon!" exclaimed one of the men hurting him right now.
"Yeah!"
"Kill the demon!"
Came the cries of the people who are hurting him. The boy could barely focus as pain exploded around him. All he could feel was pain, he could also feel rage slowly building up inside him.
'Do you want...to...stop this,' came the loud rumbling sound in his mind. The voice was dark, evil even, and the aura is released felt like the deepest, darkest chasm.
'Wh..Who...are...you?' the boy questioned mentally, a little worried to trust someone.
'Doesn't...matter. I could...give you...power. Enough to...destroy...your foe. Do you accept.'
'I..' pain exploded around him again, burning the hesitation away from the boy. 'I accept!'
'Good...very good.'
Dark energy exploded from the boy's body, his dark blue eyes turn crimson red, shadowy substance surrounded his body, waving around menacingly. Darkness gather around his right arm before it condenses, taking the shape of a pure, galactic, black, short scythe with black chains connected to it's butt.
"Wha...What is that!" exclaimed one man as he pointed at the boy, staring at his menacing red eyes with fear.
"It..It's witchcraft. Kill the warlock," exclaimed one of the man as he ran toward the boy with his large axe.
The boy intercept with his scythe, the sound of blade meeting blade echoed through the alleyways, causing some of the men to cover their ears from the screeching sound. The man struggle, putting his strength into the axe, trying to chop the boy in half. It was a futile effort because black chains suddenly erupted from his back, penetrate through one of his lungs.
Blood Erupted from the man's mouth as the strength he put behind his axe waived, giving the boy a perfect opportunity to push the blade away from him using his scythe.
With his axe lost somewhere, the man fell onto his knee, holding the place where he was pierced. The hole was dripping copious amounts of blood. Staring at the menacing eyes of the boy he was beating momentary ago, the man begged.
"Please. Spare me," rasped the injured man.
The boy just stayed still for a moment, the man broke out a smile, thinking that he will be spared. That smile faded when he felt a cut on his neck, then his vision turn black.
The other men just watch in shock as a boy, no older than eight, beheaded a full grown man.
"Your next," came the hollowed whispered of the boy.
"Ha, ha, ha," heaved a sweaty Naruto as he woke up with a start. His whole body, which was nude, was covered in sweat. Opening and closing his eyes, blinking rapidly, Naruto recalled the gruesome dream he just had.
A delicate hand suddenly found its way to Naruto's chest, calming him slightly.
"Nightmare?" came the concerned voice of his beloved Angel. Her face held nothing but concern for her love, it wasn't the first time this happen.
"It's nothing to worry worry about Gabriel," replied Naruto softly, still looking at his clenched hand. The dream was so real, so vivid, so familiar.
"This is the third night that this has happened, dear. I'm worried about you." She wanted nothing more than to take that pain away. It was the least she can do for all he has done for her.
"Don't." Naruto turned and smile at Gabriel, who returned a half-hearted one. "I'm fine, my love, it's just a dream. Nothing less, nothing more."
Wrapping his arm around her slim waist, Naruto pulled her into him and kissed her softly on the lips, bringing a smile to her face. He then scoop her up and placed her on the bed delicately, slipping himself next to her.
Not a moment later, Gabriel flipped herself ontop of him, straddling his waist, giving Naruto a clear view of her very bountiful, very firm, and also very nude pair of tits. They were nude because they were enjoying their favorite pastime together two hour ago.
A sexy smile appears on Gabriel's face as she inches toward Naruto's ear.
"But I couldn't sleep dear," she whispered seductively, fanning the ever growing lust building inside of him. "I have a certain...itch, that only you can take care of." That was the nail that broke the dam. Before Gabriel knows it, she was suddenly pin to their bed, her arms bounded together by Naruto's arm, said person was now hovering above her, his other arm trailing past her slim waist, trailing all of her curves before grabbing a fistful of her firm buttock.
"Well, I guess we have to fix that won't we," whispered the red hair devil as he slowly nibbled on his Angel's sweat neck. All Gabrielle could do was moan and writhe around in the pleasure her beloved was giving her.
Opening her eyes, Gabriel stared at Naruto's pair of orbs with nothing but love. That was how she was able to prevent herself from falling from grace while doing intercourse. When they are making love, all she felt was just that, love, and there was nothing the Angels valued more than their love one.
Leaning up, Gabriel engage Naruto in a fierce, yet loving kiss, nibbling at the bottom of his lip until he finally open up.
While they were doing this, Naruto couldn't help but feel like he forgot to do something, oh well, if he forget something, then that just mean that it wasn't important.

"I hate you, Lord Naruto," muttered Gajeel as he and the big brute, Elfman, was currently inside a cave with no light source whatsoever, but that wasn't the problem. Devils can see perfectly fine in the dark, no, the problem was that they couldn't move anywhere thanks to the damn Devils Trap above them.
You see, Devils Trap are a set of Enochian Sigil placed in certain arrays, usually circular, that are designed to, like its name suggests, trap Devils, and all demonic creatures. Once a Devils is inside, they couldn't escape or use their power. The only way to get out was have outside party altar of destroyed the trap.
Gajeel cursed again. This was supposed to be a simple mission. He and Elfman were just supposed to meet up with the scientist, Dr. Geronimo, get the map from him, navigate through the endless dark chasm, and collect the item inside.
They manage to accomplish two out of the four thing, but once they enter the dark cave, the entrance was blocked by some giant boulder. They were about to destroy the Boulder when they found out that they couldn't move their body. It turns out that there was a giant Devils Trap above them.
Gajeel couldn't help but wonder what the item inside here was. He hadn't seen a Devil's Trap in person but his Master had informed them about what it looked like and how to sense them. At first, Gajeel did feel some angelic energy, but quickly dismissed it since he assumed whatever they were looking for must've been related to Heaven. He cursed himself for his stupidity.
"Damn! How are we suppose to get out now! This is all your fault Elfman!" exclaimed the frustrated Devil as he glared at Elfman, which wasn't a good idea because said man towered over him.
"My fault, how can this possibly be my fault!?" yelled back the behemoth.
"If you haven't dismissed the worker early, they might've gotten us out right now!" exclaimed Gajeel as he glared at the now innocent looking Elfman. It was true, Elfman did dismissed the other worker, claiming that they were 'manly' enough to do this job by themselves.
"Now, now. Let's not get into a fight and try to find a way out of this mess," offered Elfman as he took in their surroundings, which was nothing but rocks and dirt. Gajeel's face reddened and he was about to explode but was interrupted by the former.
"I just got a manly idea Gajeel!" exclaimed Elfman excitedly. He put all his strength into his right fist and retracted, then in a split second, slam the fist down on the floor, causing cracks to form and rocks breaking it down into pieces. Picking up the fragments, Elfman look at his partner expectantly.
Realization drawn on Gajeel as his face turned horrified.
"Oh no, no way in hell, Elfman!" exclaimed Gajeel indecently, trying to get away from him, but he couldn't go far due to the Devil Trap.
"Do you want to get out of here or not."
"Fine," huffed the raven haired Devil as he picked some rocks up, while muttering, "I hate you, Lord Naruto."

(2 Days)
(The Underworld, Elder Summit)
The Underworld was a very big place, almost as big as the Human Realm, so in order to keep peace and order, a strong Government was needed.
Most of the Devil populace knows that the highest social rank ones can get is the title of Satan, which was mostly true. Even though the Satans had the highest ranking and doesn't have to answer to anyone else, they do, however, have to report to The Elder Council when they are going to do something big, like starting a war or making allies.
The Elder Council was a political system which hold almost the same duty as the Supreme Court of the United State, but with a 32 judge system, one for each of the remaining 32 Pillars. Originally, the purpose of the Elder Council was to settle disagreements between clans or individuals, they were also the one who delivered the punishment to the criminal such as Stray Devils.
Sometimes the Elder Council is formed when a big crisis appears, to discuss what to do next with the Four Satans, which was what they are doing right now.
Inside a large, medieval looking tower made from Nether Stone, were the 32 Elders. The room they were in was completely dark, with thirty two thrones set in a circular pattern. Behind the thirty-two throne are four more thrones, but they are more ornate and royal looking. There was no light since Devils are able to see in the dark just find.
Each of the smaller throne sat the elders of the remaining 32 Founding Devil Clan, all of whom have a serious expression on. Behind them are the Four Great Satan, Sirzechs Lucifer, Serafall Leviathan, Ajuka Beelzebub, and Falbium Asmodeus.
Unlike the serious looking elders, the emotions shown between the Four Satans varied.
Sirzechs Lucifer, a red hair man dressed in his usual armor, was, not surprisingly, acting like an idiot, whispering jokes at Serafall who giggled in response. Serafall Leviathan, a women with a childlike body and chest too big for someone of her appearance, was twirling her staff while occasionally giggled at Sirzechs joke. Ajuka Beelzebub, a man with lime green hair, was the only Satan taking this meeting seriously. His face are void of emotion except the small amount of embarrassment that seems to slipped in whenever Serafall was acting immature, which was all the time. The last person of the group is Falbium Asmodeus, who was currently...sleeping.
Kneeling at the center, facing the four Satans, was Naruto Gremory.
"Enough!" came the loud, booming voice of Ajuka, causing Sirzechs and Serafall to freeze and Falbium to wake up. Massaging his forehead with one hand, the Satan continued.
"We are here discussing important business, will you guys act mature for once." Ajuka all but commanded, the situation was dire and if they don't do anything soon, the end of Devil kind might become inevitable.
"Why are we even here, Ajuka," asked Sirzech as he leaned against his throne, a childlike smile plastered on his face. "You didn't tell me what the meeting was about."
Ajuka just groaned into his hand. Of course he didn't tell Sirzech what the meeting was about, he was too busy carrying said man from his house because the young Lucifer didn't want to attend and quote, "boring ass meeting with a bunch of senile old men".
"This meeting was called in because of the action of your sister, Lord Lucifer," came the voice of one of the Elders, this one belonging to the Phenex Clan. That comment caught Sirzech off guard, and everyone could tell because his face harden slightly.
"What?" came the sharp and questioning tone of the strongest Satan. The Phoenix's Elder flinched slightly because that question was directed to him. Knowing that the Phenex wasn't going to say anything more, Ajuka coughed into his hand, returning everyone's attention back to him. He pulled out a Manila folder and began to skim through it.
"According to our intel," began Ajuka, stopping on a certain page. "Just five days ago, one Rias Gremory along with her peerage entered the Fallen Angels territory uninvited, and proceed to murder a total of four Fallen Angels, 47 Rogue Exorcists." He then flipped two pages and stop.
"The Fallen Angels Leader, Azazel, demanded her head in a...ah," readied Ajuka, pausing mid-sentence, most of the Devils in the room to send him questioning glanced. Coughing slightly, Ajuka continued, albeit a little red dusting his cheeks.
"Azazel demanded Rias's head to be send in a gift box, along with the rest of her 'tight, young body', carried to his castle by a swimsuit wearing Grayfia." The comment caused most of the Elder to either drool at the thought of a scantily clad Grayfia or feel disturbed by what the leader of one of the strongest supernatural fractions wanted. Sirzechs face was now matching his hair, he didn't know whether to angry by the request or laugh because it was funny, and judging by the giggling Serafall, he guessed that she thought it was funny too.
"Or," emphasized Ajuka, catching everyone's attention. "Spend a day fishing with Naruto Gremory for compensation." It wasn't really a difficult decision to make.
"Okay. I think it obvious which one we are going to choose." He received a collective nodded from all the Elders. Knowing which course of action to take, Ajuka addressed one more thing.
"We may have found the solution to avoid conflict with the Fallen Angels, but there are still problem with the Angels Fraction," commented the green haired Satan, getting a confuse look from everyone else in the room except Naruto, who was the one to wrote the report so he knew the content.
"What do you mean Lord Beelzebub?" asked the Elder of the Vassago Clan. "Why is the Angels Fraction involved in this, I thought it was just us and the Fallen One's."
"Yes, that would be the case," agreed Ajuka with a nod before looking straight at the Vassago Elder. "If Fallen Angels were the only victim of Rias stupidity." The comment caused quite a few Devils to look at the Satan, confused, except Sirzech who glared at his best friend.
"You see, fellow Devils, not only did Rias Gremory enter enemy territory and murder the occupants, she also reincarnated a Holy Maiden into her Bishop." Several people gasped at that. "This is considered to be a great offense to the Angels Fraction, and even though they haven't press charges yet, it doesn't mean they are not going too."
"We have to do something to appease the Angels," said Ajuka, looking around the room. "Any ideas?"
A moment of silence past, no one said a thing.
"I propose," came the voice of the Elder of the Amon Clan, catching everyone's attention. "That we send someone there. To heaven. Negotiate with the Archangel, Michael to see if we can solve this issue peacefully.
Ajuka thought about the idea, frankly it wasn't that bad. However, before he can say anything, another Elder interrupted.
"That's not a bad idea," stated the Elder of the Marchosias Clan, stroking his beard. "But who would do something so risky, we're talking about entering Heaven, the home of Him, and command center to all Holy Creatures. No one will volunt..."
"I volunteer," came the strong voice of Naruto Gremory, still kneeling on his knee, catching everyone's attention.
"Young Gremory, are you sure," came the concern voice of the Elder of the Sitri Clan. "You already have to deal with Azazel, there would be no need to burden you anymore. We can alwa..."
"This problem was caused by Rias Gremory," interrupted Naruto, now standing tall, facing the Sitri Elder, whose chair was next to those of the Four Satan. "A Gremory should be the one who solve it." No said anything, just thinking about the idea. Most of them thought it was justified, a sister caused the problem so it was the duty of a brother to fix it.
"Alright, if that's how you truly feel," stated Ajuka looking at Naruto's determined face, before looking around the room once more. "Let's put it onto a vote, who agree that Naruto Gremory should go to Heaven and negotiate with Michael."
Many magical seals of various designs pop out in front of the Elders,signaling their agreement. They all thought that having their ambassador work out the problem with the enemy was a good idea, it was his job anyway.
"Well then we came to an agreement, Naruto Gremory you are dismissed. Go prepare for your expedition." Naruto nodded and a red magical seal appear underneath him, teleporting him out of the council room.
"Now that that problem is solved, we move on to the disagreement between allies forces." And so the council move on to another topic to discussed, not noticing the disappearance of a certain mischievous Satan.
(The Underworld, Outside Elder Summit)
Naruto was currently walking out of the Elder Summit. He could've teleported to the Gremory Castle in the first place, but wanting sometime to think of what to do, I mean you couldn't just go into your enemy territory without a gift.
His trip to the Fallen Angel's base would not be much of a problem. He knew Azazel on a personal level so he could just teleport there. The strange request was just probably an excuse for him to see Naruto again, it wasn't like it was the first time that this happen.
Now going into heaven was another story entirely. Most of the populace hate his gut, which was totally unjustified. Sure he may have killed the Archangel Metatron during the last Great War, but hey, he needed a way to learn Enochian, the ancient language of Holy Creature, it wasn't his fault the Archangel wouldn't teach it to him easily. So he had to get creative, which was another word for torture.
Yeah, that was back when he was still a selfish ashole. Which was another reason why he cherished Gabriel so much. It wasn't easy to convince a girl to date you when you mutilated then killed her brother with his own sword, but he did it. It wasn't easy, but he still did it.
So it would be a wise idea to bring Michael a gift of some sort, it would at least calm down the Angels, no matter how small it might be.
"What are you thinking, Naru-tan!" came the familiar, childish voice of a certain Satan.
Snapping out of his thought, Naruto turned around and spot Serafall in her magical girl outfit,networking her staff.
"What do you want Serafall," asked/demanded Naruto, having no time for her right now. The only female Satan just pouted, something that look adorable when combined with her childish body.
"Aww, Naru-tan still mad at me for what happen last Christmas," asked the innocent looking Serafall, too innocent perhaps. Naruto's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably, he still didn't forgive her for what she did to him. Last Christmas he along with his family, which unfortunately included Sirzech and Rias, attended a Christmas Party hosted by Lord and Lady Sitri.
Somehow during the party he managed to get drunk, which was weird because he could handle his liquor, and Serafall manage to seduce him, successfully. Naruto didn't remember what happened that night but the next morning he woke up with a naked Satan sleeping peacefully on his chest.
That wasn't even the worst of it. Their parents apparently caught them in the act that night, and lets just say that he now has a huge scar on his chest from where Lord Sitri attacked him. Luckily the news wasn't made public because Serafall admitted that she did seduce him, even though she also said he didn't seem to mind.
After that whole debacle they were invited to the Sitri home for dinner as an apology for attacking him without knowing what happen. The dinner was complete hell, which was ironic since he technically live in one, because his mother, Lady Gremory, and Lady Sitri keep going at it on how they look perfect together and suggesting that he marry her, much to his ire and Serafall secret joy.
"Don't mention that in public Serafall!" snapped a red face Naruto, he was extremely embarrassed that he can be so easily manipulated by the female body, which would explain why he bought five malls in the U.S. even though he doesn't have that much clothes. Gabriel sure can be sexy when she wants something.
Shaking his head out of the unnecessary, yet erotic thought, Naruto focused his attention toward the grinning Satan in front of him.
"Aren't you suppose to be in a meeting right now," he inquired.
"The meeting was boring, so I decided to follow you instead, isn't it amazing!" exclaimed Serafall excitedly as she did a twirl. The action caused her very short skirt to fluttered, giving Naruto a great view of her white panties.
Naruto just stared at her blankly.
"I'll ask you again, what do you want Serafall?" repeated the Gremory Heir slowly. All Serafall did was smile at him innocently, but unlike the usual smile, this one held no mischief.
"Why a date with you of course."
(Human Realm, United State of America, Mount St. Helen)
"When will it ever end!" exclaimed the irritated Gajeel as he jumped over a rock monster with four arm and three pebbles for eyes.
"Iron Dragon's Lance: Demon's Log!" A magical seal appear around his forearm as his entire right arm transform into iron with a spear point. With a battle cry, Gajeel penetrated through the Stone Golem, causing it to explode into a pile of rubble. Using the momentum, the Iron Dragon Slayer swung the spear 180 degrees, destroying three more Golem in the process.
Swatting the exploding rocks out of the way, Gajeel took a deep breath. It took them a day to get out of the Devil Trap, another half a day to traveled through the cave and finally found an entrance to possibly the area where the artifact there Master want them to collect is. But luck was definitely not on their side, because once Elfman's hand touch the door, or he hoped it was a door since it was just a giant segmented rock that was emitting large magical energy, hundreds of Stone Golem popped out and attacked them.
Gajeel doesn't even know what time it is right now, all he wanted was to get out of this Lucifer forsaken cave! Something impacted him on the back, sending him across the rocky field. Growling loudly, Gajeel glared at the Stone Golem that punched him. He must be getting out of shape, letting a pile of rocks attack him like that. Thats what peacetime will do a soldier.
Before he can get his revenge, however, the Golem shattered into pieces, Elfman standing behind it. Releasing an earth shattering roar, Elfman released his magical energy, which was so immense that the five Stone Golem that was surrounding him started to crack. A red magical seal appear underneath the Devil as his skin started to transform.
"Full-Body Take Over: Lycaon!" exclaimed Elfman as his body was suddenly surrounded by metallic, gray fur, his nose elongated, becoming more like a canine snout, and his nails. sharpened, becoming claws. Releasing another roar, this one more horrifying than the previous, showing his enlarged canines, the Stone Golems surrounding him shattered into tiny fragments.
"You're getting less manly, Gajeel!" exclaimed Elfman as he sliced the air in front of him, shooting compressed air into one of the few remaining Golem, causing it to explode like the rest of it's comrades. Gajeel just glared at Elfman, it was very embarrassing to be save my one of his teammate. Back in the old days, the Dragon Slayer used to be the third strongest Devil, the only one that could destroy him were his {King} and the Four Great Satan. Now, he bet that Ultear and Ragnar could easily take him too.
Releasing a growl, Gajeel caught the incoming fist of a foolish Stone Golem that thought it was a good idea to attack him when he was angry. With great strength, Gajeel pulled the Golem forward, causing it to stumbled and fall while he managed to get on his feet, his hand still clenched on the animated rock's first.
"Shut up Elfman!" shouted the enraged Dragon Slayer as iron scales started to appear around his body, becoming his second skin of some sort. A metallic green aura surrounded him as he glared at the Golem which was trying to get out of his gripped. It was all for naught when Gajeel's fist was slam against its round head, cracking it. The Golem landed on its knee before slowly disintegrating.
Turning around, he saw that Elfman was now looking at him with a stupid grin on his face while the other Golems was just standing there, apparently shocked from witnessing the sight of it's destroyed brother. The thought was weird for Gajeel to take in, he thought Golem were just animated object, he didn't know they were capable of emotion, but that doesn't matter right now. His eyes narrowed at the species that made a fool out of him, in front of his comrade no less, they deserve a painful death, even though they aren't technically alive.
"Step aside Elfman, I'll take care of this," he commanded. Elfman just chuckle, seeing the familiar maniacal glint in the old Devil's eyes, it's seems that the famed Dragon Slayer was back.
Metallic green smoke started to oozed out of Gajeel like poisonous gases, which is what it was, as he took a step forward, his arm outstretched. A giant magical seal appear underneath the remaining dozen or so Golems, trapping them, a smaller version of the seal appear underneath Gajeel.
"Iron Dragon," started Gajeel as two smaller magical circle hovered in front of his outstretched hands. Pure black Iron appear out of an outlined seal, coming up halfway. "Secret Art:." The iron connected to each other, forming a huge dome of pure iron, trapping the remaining Golem inside. "Hell Coliseum." With that said, four gigantic metal rods appear on the four corner of the dome.
The base of the iron rods open, inhaling in a large quantity of air before closing itself. The sizzling sound of fire and object being melted was emitted from the dome. After a few minute Gajeel released the technique, causing the iron to sink back into the ground, leaving nothing more than a burnt rocky floor.
Elfman released another chuckle when he saw Gajeel fall down on his knees, the scales around his body disappeared along with his green aura. Sweat was covering his body now as said man tried to take as much air into his lung as possible. That technique was definitely deadly, but it also exhausted the user.
Even though all the Stone Golem are now gone and they can safely access the door, Elfman was a little disappointed at Gajeel. Back in the old days, Gajeel could use that technique more often without feeling fatigued. It's seems that he had really gone weaker after the war ended.
Releasing his magic, Elfman body turned back to normal, his cloak still intact, because of the sheer durability of the fabric used to make it.
Walking toward the kneeling Gajeel he held out his hand. The Dragon Slayer took it and was lifted toward his feet, Elfman helping him walk by putting one of Gajeel's arm over his shoulder.
"You've gotten heavier," commented the beast of a man.
"Shut up," growled Gajeel with no real venom as they walked toward the door. Golden light flashed out of the segmented rock, engulfing the two into it. When the light disappear, the two Devils were no where to be found.
(The Underworld, Lilith City, Satanic Café)
Very much like the Human Realm, the Underworld has many city, and like those of human, there are cities that soar higher than the others, and there are no city more popular than Lilith City.
Lilith City was named after the first Demonic Being that was ever created in all of creation be the Archangel turned Devil Lucifer. Not only is it a historical sight, a place that Lucifer claimed after defeating Hades, the Lord of the Dead, and turning it into his kingdom, the City of Lilith also serve as a tourist attraction.
All Demonic Creature, as well as Allies of the Devils, were welcomed to come and enjoy all the city has to offer and stay as long as they wish. It was quite a common occurrence to see various Gods or Goddesses walking around the streets, enjoying a break from their work.
Sitting on one of the outdoor café was one Naruto Gremory, taking a sip from his tea, while amusing himself by watching a female Kitsune and the Mayan Goddess Akna fighting for an original pair of purses while the Devil salesman was looking on nervously. What male wouldn't get nervous when a Goddess of Sexuality and a drop dead Fox Girl fighting are in front of him. It was practically every guys wet dream becoming reality.
"Naru-tan~," came the voice to his left. Turning around from the amusing sight, Naruto came face to face with a pouting Serafall. "Why are you ignoring me, Naru-tan. We are on a date remember~."
Releasing a sigh, Naruto took another sipped from his drink. The only reason he agreed to have a drink with Serafall was because she supposedly knew a way to get into Heaven without getting ambushed, or worse, raped.
You see, the entrance to Heaven was very close to the entrance to Asgard, so it wasn't that difficult to find valkyrie around the place, guarding the gate that lead to their home. The reason he was so scared of getting raped by valkyrie because during the Great War, Naruto wasn't exactly the compassionate guy that will do anything for his loved ones. Back in those day, he was consider The True Devil because he was the definition on how a Devil needed to behave. A dark creature that would destroy anything that got in his way, and a lustful animal that couldn't be satisfied with only one partner. At first Naruto didn't want to get involved in a war he doesn't care about, so his good friend Thor let him stay with him in Valhalla.
It was actually a nice month up there. Unlike heaven, Valhalla's sky wasn't just pure light, it was actually very romantic, beautiful sky. Not to mention being there boosted his power tremendously. That wasn't the point though, the point that during his one month stayed in in the realm of the Norse God, Naruto bedded about thirty valkyrie. The problem wasn't that the God was mad at him for tainting their virgin soldiers, no the problem was that Valkyries became obsessed with him after the whole debacle. Sometime while passing by the area, he would wake up one morning with a Valkyrie in his bed with no memory of the night's events whatsoever. While it may be pleasurable, it can become a huge problem later on.
Naruto was just glad that he didn't have a daughter with any Valkyrie, at least to his knowledge.
"This isn't a date, Serafall," stated Naruto sternly before he put his drink down. Closing his eyes, the red hair Devil leaned back against his ornate chair.
"The only reason why I'm here is because you have the information I seek." If Naruto's eyes were open he would've saw that his word had hurt her greatly.
Serafall was quite upset that the only reason he was willing to go on a date with her was because he was forced too. She released a silent sigh, it was not like she didn't expect this. No one could ever make Naruto open up, nor make him smile and do thing other than work, at least not to her knowledge. He was the complete opposite of Sirzech.
"So," the voice of Naruto caused her to snapped out of her thought. Looking at him, she noticed that he was currently looking into her eyes intently, causing a light blush to adorned her cheek.
"Um, So what?" asked the female Satan, too lost in his beautiful sapphire orbs to think straight. His gaze was one of a predator stalking it's prey, one of pure strength and dominance. Her Demonic Instinct told her to submit and do whatever he told her in order to survive, something she would gladly do for him. The thought of Naruto dominating her caused her face to redden even more, it was now almost the same color as her secret crush hair.
"You said you have a spell or something that can get me to Heaven unscratched," stated Naruto monotony. "What is the spell?"
Serafall moved around in her seat nervously, his gaze was so intense it made her nervous.
"Well," said the Satan nervously, trying and failing to stop fidgeting in her seat. "It isn't a spell per say, its more like an artifact."
"An artifact huh," muttered Naruto in thought as he took another sip from his drink. His mind automatically searched in his database for an artifact that can do something like that, he doesn't have anything like that and it just make him want the item even more.
Serafall smiled as she saw Naruto trying to think of what she had in her disposition that can safely transported him to Heaven. She knew that Naruto was very interested in ancient artifacts, almost as much as he is interested in gaining power.
Not many people know this, but during the Great War Naruto and Serafall was quite close, doing many missions and fighting in many of the battles together. They were practically inseparable, and Serafall enjoyed every moment, especially during the night when they release their inner Demons. Even though he made it clear that it was nothing but pure carnal sex, and there was nothing between them, Serafall couldn't help but fall in love with him. With the hero that saved her numerous times during the course of the war.
"So, what kind of artifact can let me get into Heaven safely," inquired the red hair Devil, breaking Serafall from her train of thought again.
"Well, it's not really an artifact," stretched Serafall as she brought out her hand.. A golden light emit from her palm before disappearing, revealing a golden apple the size of her hand. "This, Naruto, is the Golden Apple from the Garden of Hysteria, and it could guarantee safe passage to Heaven."
(Human Realm, United State of America, Mount St. Helen)
"Is that it," questioned Elfman as he look at the stone tablet currently situated at the altar, in the center of the room. The light apparently took them to a room where the artifact there Master sent them to get was in, he just doesn't know what it was since Lord Naruto never gave them any information. Just that it was obvious when they see it.
He felt a sharp pain flashes on his head, causing him to wince slightly.
"Isn't it obvious dumbass, it's the only thing in the room!" exclaimed Gajeel angrily.
"Fine, whatever," Elfman muttered as he moved closer to the object, opening his palm. Crimson magical energy gathered there, swirling around in the shape of a sphere. It suddenly took the shape of a chest, with golden lock.
"Okay, here goes nothing," he said as he drew closer, taking careful step toward the ancient relic. Gajeel watched in the sideline in silent anticipation, his body tense, ready to strike if a trap activate. Sweat fell down the white hair Devil as his hand drew closer to the object. With a deep breath, Elfman grabbed the tablet, looking around the room anxiously. From the corner of his eyes Elfman could see Gajeel looking around expectably.
After a minute of looking around for a trap activate, they finally settled down.
"Is that it?" asked Gajeel, still worried that a trap will activate.
"I guess this is it," answered the enormous Devil as he placed the tablet carefully inside the chest before channeling his magical energy into the lock, locking it. With a silent incantation, the chest disappeared into thin air.
"This is it, aren't there going to be traps." His paranoia is very reasonable because ever since they entered the cave nothing but bad things had happened.
"I guess not. Lets get out of here before anything can happen, okay." Gajeel nodded before channeling his magical energy into the floor. A large, red magical seal appears underneath the two Devils. In a flash of red, the two disappear, completely missing the black wisp coming off of the altar.
Time Skip
(2 Weeks)
(Human Realm, Kuoh Town, Kuoh Academy, Old School Building)
At Eleven A.M. in the evening, almost everybody left the school. There were only four signatures in the school ground right now, and they're all coming from the same location.
The Old School Building.
The Old School Building, like it's name suggest, was the place where they use to teach, but now it was transformed into a place that the Occult Research Club resided in.
That was, of course, what the public's was aware of. In truth, the Occult a Research Club was nothing more than a cover for the Devils. A place where one Rias Gremory and her Peerage use to conduct supernatural activity, but right now, it was used as a meeting spot between two {Kings}.
Inside the Old School Building are two royal, looking sofas, situated opposite of each other. An ornate desk was station between the two furniture, but that didn't really matter right now.
What matter are the people sitting on the sofas. To the right is a beautiful, girl with long, crimson, red threads cascading down her shoulder, wearing the standard Kuoh Academy school garment, which did nothing to hide her generous buxom. This person is Rias Gremory, the youngest sibling born to Lord and Lady Gremory.
Behind her stood another beautiful girl with long, raven hair that was tied with an orange ribbon, reaching her heels in length. Her outfit was the same as Rias's. This person is Akeno Himejima, the {Queen} as well as best friend of Rias Gremory.
In front of them is Sirzechs Lucifer and a beautiful, young looking, silver hair lady, dressed in a traditional maid outfit. Her name is Grayfia Lucifuge, {Queen} of Sirzechs Lucifer as well as his wife, she is also one of the last remaining Devil from the House of Lucifuge.
The atmosphere in the room was tense, very much so.
Sirzech was actually here to talk to his sister on the problems she was causing by entering the Fallen Angel territory without the other parties consent, but surprise, surprise, when he got here, his wife, Grayfia, informed him that his sister, Ria's tried to get out of the marriage the easy way, which was to lose her virginity to another man. The thought that his sister was willing to do something like this was so...so embarrassing! Now he was beginning to understand why Naruto doesn't like Rias so much.
"Brother," called Rias, trying to break the silence. She was feeling uncomfortable with this. Her usual silly and always smiling brother was replaced by this cold and emotionless warrior. Now that she thought about it, when Sirzech act serious, he kind of look like her other brother. The thought sent shiver down her spine, she would rather have the annoying Sirzech over the nonchalant one, she doesn't need another Naruto to tell her what to do.
"Why are you here brother, don't you have more important thing to do?" asked Rias, it was the polite thing to say and could break the tense atmosphere, something she needed right now.
"Yes, I do actually," replied Sirzech nonchalantly with a shrug.
"So, why did you decided to pay me a visit?" asked Rias, wanting her brother to elaborate on why he was here. Her answer was for her brother to stare straight into her eyes, almost causing her to flinch because of how empty it look. Usually her brother, Sirzechs eyes held nothing more than childish innocent and amusement, now however, it was empty, like...like her other brothers. She could've already guessed that Grayfia has informed Sirzech of what she almost did half an hour ago.
"This isn't a social call if that's what you want to know," informed Sirzech coldly, causing Rias to visibly flinched. "Originally I was here to..investigate, yes that's the word, investigate on a certain incident that occurred several weeks ago." Rias froze as she remember what happened two weeks ago, realization crossed her, her face look horrified for a second before she quickly schooled her features. From the corner of her eyes, Rias could see the same thing happen to her {Queen}.
"Brother, what happen several weeks ago was not our fault. The Fallen Angels took..." Rias tried to explained to her brother but before she could finish, Sirzech interrupted her.
"Yes, the Fallen Angel captured one Asia Argento," stated Sirzech impassively as a crimson manilla folder appear on his arm from thin air. "A human girl who is also a nun."
"She's a part of my peerage!" exclaimed the crimson hair beauty, slightly raising her voice, she also rose to her feet.
"Not during the time of the incident," he countered with a slightly raised voice also, before calming down.
"Rias, you have to understand that what you did was completely dangerous," stated Sirzech, his face void of emotion. "Now sit down." Knowing that it was an order, Rias has no choice but to oblige.
"Not only did you, along with your peerage, enter the Church run by Fallen Angels, you also killed all four of them along with several Rogue Exorcists, and for what exactly? To rescue a maiden of the Church?" stated Sirzech, listing everything that she did without sugarcoating anything. Rias flinched at his cold tone before a confident look appear on her face.
"They were in my territory, so I have the rights to..." She was interrupted yet again.
"You have the rights to nothing!" the emotionless mask Sirzech has on shattered, revealing his true nature. One of rage and disappointed of what his sister did. Rias's eyes widen and her mouth shut, this was the first time Sirzech ever yelled at her, most time he just informed her nicely or acted like it didn't matter.
"The Abandon Church is Fallen Angels territory and you entered it uninvited! You also killed four members of the fraction to rescue a girl belonging to the Angels Faction! Do you have any idea what that meant?! That is practically a declaration of war!" exclaimed the now standing Sirzech calmly with a cold edge. By now, Rias was looking down on her hand, wanting nothing more than to avoid this discussion and too afraid to look up at her brother, especially since she sensed that he was looking at her right now. Beside her Akeno was looking at her {King} worryingly. Grayfia was also looking worried, but not at Rias, she was looking at Sirzech worryingly because he was pacing around right now, the calm aura that usually surround him was gone.
"Do you have any idea how difficult it is for me and you're brother to fix your mistake?!" asked/demanded Sirzech, still pacing. He continued upon seeing Rias shaking her head slightly, which was hard to noticed since her whole body was shaking.
"Of course you don't," he muttered but everyone in the room heard him, causing Rias to flinched again.
"Your brother, Naruto, has to travel to the other side of the Underworld and fly to Heaven to apologized on behalf of you! Do you know how embarrassing that is for him? For our kind?" Sirzech shook his head in shame before continuing. "Well, for your information, it was very difficult, especially for Naruto! He was a proud warrior that commanded the famous Battalion 'Dynasty', a squad that changes the courses of the Great War into our favor." Rias couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself for causing her family so much pain. She knew is was very hard for Naruto to swallowed his pride and do something like that was mind numbing.
"You know, the elders wanted to send them your head instead," stated the Satan with a shrugged, causing Rias and Akeno to stare at him terrified. Sirzech saw their expression and couldn't help but laugh mentally. "Of course the only reason why they didn't do that was because Naruto volunteered to carry out your punishment instead." Rias look even more ashamed of herself now, she knew that her brothers must've hated her because of what she did.
"I'm sorry," whispered the crimson hair beauty, tears flowing down her face. "I'm sorry for causing you so much problems." She suddenly broke down there, tears flowing freely out of her eyes, drenching her outfit, not that she cared about that anymore. Akeno walked toward her {King} and comforted her, it didn't work.
Sirzech released a tired sigh, running one of his hand through his crimson locks, before looking down on her emotional distressed sister.
"Look, I'm not mad at you Rias, I'm just disappointed that you would do something that would jeopardize our kind." Sirzech tried to comfort his sister, but according to her flinching, he guessed that he failed. Sirzech turned around, his back facing her, his face turned slightly.
"Just remember. Don't do these kind of thing ever again, because the next time, you'll have to face the consequences by yourself," warned Sirzech as he held one arm up, and was about to snap his finger but paused midway.
"Oh, don't think I didn't know what happen tonight," stated the crimson hair Satan. "Like I said before, Don't do it again, this is your final warning." With that said he snapped his finger, the sound echoed around the room as he disappeared into thin air. Grayfia step up and bowed.
"I'll take my leave as well, Lady Rias," said Grayfia as a red magical seal appear under her, it glowed brightly before disappearing with the {Queen} in it, leaving Rias alone with her {Queen}, the former still crying her eyes out, while the latter tried to comfort her.

(Dusk)
"AAAAAHHHHH," moaned out Naruto in bliss as his beloved Angel give him one hell of a massage. They were currently in their indoor hot tub, enjoying a nice, warm dip, which Naruto was enjoying immensely, not only because he finally have time to relax from the recent debacle between the three fraction, but because Gabriel was with him, in nothing more than a skimpy two pice, cream bikini, which was the same color as her skin, enhancing her already divine beauty.
"Have I ever tell you how much I love you Gabriel," said Naruto hoarsely, he was feeling so relaxed right now. Gabrielle giggled into her hand as she continued to massage him, she love the fact that she was the only one who could make him feel like this, even his {Queen} couldn't make him feel this good, it was such a great feeling for her.
"More than I could remember, my love," whispered the blonde hair Angel as she leaned in, squishing her supple mounds onto his chiseled back. Naruto shivered as he experience immense pleasure in what his beloved was doing to him. Her magical fingers unraveled the knots on his shoulder, her nipples brushing against his back, her tongue exploring his mouth. Wait what! He didn't know how, but Gabriel was currently dominating him in tongue wrestling, he was experiencing too much pleasure right now that he couldn't fight back, so he just let Gabriel do whatever she want.
Huh, this reminded him of what happen two week ago, except their position was reversed.
"Lord Naruto," came the all too familiar, feminine voice. Groaning softly, Naruto pulled away from his Angel and send her an apologetic look, in turn she just smile sweetly at him. That was why he love Gabriel so much, she was so understanding to him, always thinking positively about him and never once doubting his decisions, something that can be said about Naruto's feelings for her.
Releasing a mute sigh, Naruto put his right index and middle finger to his ear. A red magical seal of the Gremory Clan suddenly appear between his fingers and ears.
"Yes, what is it Ultear?" asked Naruto, trying and failing to keep the venom from seeping through his voice. He had a pretty busy week and want nothing more than some relaxation time with his girlfriend.
"Lord Naruto, Elfman and Gajeel has just arrived in the Underworld. They said the retrieval mission was a success," reported the Time Devil, either not caring or heard his tone, probably the former.
A thousand watt smile appear on Naruto's face at the thought. He haven't heard anything from his two {Rooks} for weeks now and was quite worry, but he knew that they could handle the mission by themselves.
"That's great news, Ultear!" exclaimed Naruto excitedly, as he stood up and got out of the hot tub, from the corner of his eyes, he could see Gabriel doing the same thing, a small frown on her face.
"Tell them to bring the package to my office tomorrow," stated Naruto, still looking at his love, who was now staring at him in shock. She knew how much this artifact meant to him and couldn't help but wonder why he would put it on delayed.
"I got something important to do right now." With that said, the magical seal disappeared from his hand. He turn to look at Gabriel, who was looking at him curiously, with a smile.
"What?"
Gabriel just continued looking at him with the same blank expression.
"Naruto, I know how much that artifact meant to you, why aren't you going to your office to see it right now?" asked the blonde hair Angel, confused at her lover's decision. Naruto just gave her a smile before pulling his love to him, moving to submerge half of their bodies into the warm water, she didn't resist at all.
"The relic can wait, but after everything that happened last week, I want to spend as much time with you," muttered Naruto huskily as he nibbled on her delicate neck, making her release that melodious moans of hers that he just adore. "With all of you." His eyes darken, nothing but love and lust can be seen in his sapphire orbs. Gabriel shivered as she saw that and released a pleasurable sigh as he continued to ravished her neck before consuming her lips, his hand trailing along her curve, resting on her rear.
That night, the infamous Devil of Hell and the Angels of Heaven did something that would be considered taboo for their respective fraction, but they didn't care. All that matter to them right now is each other.
